     Note: The precious opal presents a peculiar play of colors
           of delicate tints, and is highly esteemed as a gem. One
           kind, with a varied play of color in a reddish ground,
           is called the harlequin opal. The fire opal has
           colors like the red and yellow of flame. Common opal
           has a milky appearance. Menilite is a brown impure
           variety, occurring in concretions at Menilmontant, near
